Description

I don't know why I didn't think of making a Liz out of this shirt sooner! Turns out its just the thing! Its SUCH a simple shirt to put together....IF you can understand the impossible directions for the collar. After reading them through, I realized that there are parts missing, so I had to ad-lib it. For anyone who needs help with it, the part that is missing is stitching the collar pieces together after pinning them. Then turn it right side out, iron, and baste. The rest of the instructions are pretty sound. I am so happy to have a new shirt!

    Wow! Cool fabric and really nice fit! And again you're showing me that some patterns here are not as ugly as I thought ;)

    wishing she had black yarn

    This is so pretty! You look great in it (of course....you look great in everything you make!). Polychromatin's right; there are many patterns here that I turn my nose up at, but you keep changing my mind about them! I love this shirt! Great job!

    way too busy for loads of sewing

    I thought Liz was a nice pattern anyway, but your choice of fabric (stripes!) makes it very flattering.
